Today’s Dream11 Prediction will be for the dream teams Leicester City (LEI) and Liverpool (LIV) in English Premier League – 2020- 2021 on February 13th at King Power Stadium, Leicester. Among LEI and LIV, the LEI team has higher chances to win this match.
Leicester City vs Liverpool Dream11 Preview
The defending champions are in a rut. Their chances of retaining the title have slowly slipped away, thanks to inconsistency and injury crisis. After losing the last two matches at home, Jurgen Klopp’s men now travel to Leicester on February 13 (Saturday) to turn things around and finish within the Champions League bracket.
Klopp has promised a lot of changes to the team after being thrashed by Manchester City 1-4 at Anfield in the last match. Against the Foxes, who they trail by three points at fourth place, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho could step out of centre-back roles and make a comeback to the midfield. That will be a welcome change considering how shaky both defence and midfield have been for the Reds. After 23 matches, Liverpool are fourth with 40 points from 23 games.
Leicester, who have had a wonderful season under Brendan Rodgers. They sit third on the Premier League table with 43 points but they will need to stay focused to finish with a Champions League berth. However, they haven’t been consistent either, winning only two in their last five games. Against a wounded Liverpool, who are seeking blood, it will be a difficult task for the Foxes.
Liverpool will be returning to Premier League action this Saturday as they host a quality Leicester City side.
Jurgen Klopp’s men recently survived the resilience of Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League. However, it was none other than Mohamed Salah scoring the winner for Liverpool.
With a 4-3 win against Salzburg, Liverpool has now collected their first three points in the Champions League this season. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodger’s Leicester City will be much fresher and up for the challenge that Liverpool offers.
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool has been in sensational form when it comes to the Premier League this season. The Merseyside Red has won seven games out of seven and is five points away from Manchester City.
Liverpool’s win against Sheffield, however, was due to a blunder by the keeper, Dean Henderson which led to Georginio Wijnaldum scoring the only goal of the game. A slice of luck assisted Jurgen Klopp to home with all three points.
Talking about players to miss out, frontline goalkeeper, Alisson Becker is on the road to recovery, but isn’t fit enough for Saturday.
Joel Matip is doubtful to start after picking up a knock in mid-week. Xherdan Shaqiri’s calf injury makes him unavailable against Leicester too.
Leicester City Team News
Leicester City is having a solid run in the ongoing season of the Premier League.
The Foxes have won four, drawn two, and lost just the one game in the season so far. With 14 points on board, Leicester holds on to third for now.
Their most recent win was a 5-0 annihilation of Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium.
Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for James Maddison to return to the team sheet, although it still remains doubtful.
Matty James is ruled out against Liverpool due to a calf issue.
Top Picks
Mohammed Salah scored a brace in the Champions League fixture versus Salzburg and also provided Sadio Mane with an assist.
Robert Firmino has scored three and assisted three in the league so far.
Though Jamie Vardy did score a couple of goals against Newcastle and got his tally to five goals in the league this season, his task of getting his name in the scoresheet will be hard against a defence like Liverpool’s
Youri Tielemans in midfield will be vital for Leicester’s hopes of unlocking Liverpool’s defence.
